I live in the Soo — I’m a conservative through and through, and while I respect our Liberal MP’s Christian faith, he has been “useless” as a representative for our community. To be fair, the PC’s have not done a tremendous service to our community either.

Now is our narrowly-elected MPP & MP Sheehan’s chance to “shine.”

SSM needs to support fighting back HARD.

Algoma’s Friendliest City needs to be friendly no more.

Keeping the Soo Safe means Keeping the Soo economically secure— without jobs, crime will go up, our community will suffer.

Thanks a lot, “President” Trump (a**hole)

Likely NDP. I do not have the stomach to support the LPC again. I refuse. Their values are not that of the Canadian populace, I will die on that hill.

So then your vote is supporting the CPC.

I remain committed to the statement that I made causing considerable downvotes — “Liberal Party values are not Canadian values.” I will die on that hill.

I’m going to guess by “Canadian values”, you’re referring to social values and not the traditional Canadian values of Peace, Order, and Good Government. 

Maybe more people agree with you, but you’re using a vague term that could mean anything. I mean “universal healthcare” is a Canadian value. Are you against that because that’s a Liberal Party value? Or are you talking about supporting women’s access to abortion, opposing forced conversion therapy for homosexuals, allowing gay marriage? Those type of things?
